Frequently asked questions
Reaching out and starting something new can lend itself to some initial nerves/worries, which is totally understandable!
During our first appointment, we'll go over housekeeping items such as informed consent, confidentiality, and policies/procedures. Once all of the housekeeping is completed, we'll begin by exploring what brought you to therapy and begin to get to know one another.
I believe strongly in client-centered therapy with an eclectic therapeutic approach pulling from CBT, DBT, and ACT based treatment modalities. What does all of that mean? It means we'll work together identify goals and from there will identify the therapeutic approach that works best with those goals.
Since I'm not available 24/7, we'll create an individualized plan including natural supports and adaptive skills. We do understand that the unexpected can happen, so we are available in between appointments as needed.
We are not available for emergencies, although will ensure you are aware of emergency services.
